Whale-watching is one of the activities offered in Oahu in December.
Oahu is the third largest of Hawaii's six islands. It is home to the city of Waikiki and to some of Hawaii's best beaches in the North Shore. You'll find many things to do in Oahu, sometimes called "The Gathering Place," in December. Whether it's enjoying nature and the outdoors or attending an annual event, you're sure to discover many things during your winter trip to Oahu.
Whale-Watching on Oahu
From December to May, you can experience whale-watching in the southern seas of Oahu and spot a humpback whale or kohola in Hawaiian. The whales come to these waters to breed and give birth to new calves each year and may be observed from different places in Oahu. You can take a guided tour, charter a boat, or view the creatures from beaches or from southeastern Oahu spots such as Makapuu Lighthouse and Hanauma Bay.
The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing
The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, held from November to December each year, is a series of three men's and three women's pro surfing events. Watch the event that attracts more than 100 of the world's best surfers to the North Shore's legendary winter waves. Each winter, you can watch as surfers master the 30-foot waves and as a new champion emerges.
